The Level cap is increased to 110, there is an additional character slot, and you can try out a new spec before committing to it with a boost via Class Trials!

The Broken Isles is a new continent to explore and we have tons of screenshots on our zone pages as well as a video playlist.

Artifacts are powerful weapons unique to each spec for the expansion. You can unlock traits that modify abilities, socket relics to increase the power of specific traits, and unlock new appearances and tints by completing different kinds of content. Our Artifact Calculator lets you choose your traits and relics as well as preview all the appearances! We also have a brand-new Artifact Overview answering basic questions.

Each class has a special Order Hall filled with lore NPCs where you can hang out just with your class! There is also a special quest campaign as well as some Champions to recruit and Missions to complete. We also have videos of each Order Hall.

The concept of Challenge Mode dungeons gets a new spin in Legion. Players who complete a Mythic dungeon may earn a Mythic Keystone pointing to a random Legion dungeon, enabling access to progressively more challenging levels of difficulty, with commensurate rewards. These mobs in Mythic+ dungeons will get special challenging affixes, which then change your dungeon strategy!

Questing is improved in Legion; each leveling zone dynamically scales to your level so you don't have to worry about outleveling them. At max level, you can complete World Quests which have a variety of objectives and award reputation. Learn more about World Quests and Reputation in our guide.

PvP is getting some major updates in Legion with PvP-specific abilities and a revamped Honor system that unlocks new ability choices as you progress through the system, as well as vanity Prestige rewards like mounts such as and pets. Check out our Legion PvP overview and PvP talent calculator for more information.

Professions are getting some big updates, including lots of quests, an improved UI, and recipe ranks. Equipment limits on the amount of crafted gear that can be worn have been removed. Check out the changes in our Profession Guide, as well as the coolest new stuff for each profession.

World of Warcraft: Legion Beta Patch Notes Updated: May 12, 2016.

New Hero Class: Demon Hunter

Dominate your foes as a Demon Hunter, an elven outcast shunned for daring to wield the terrible powers of demons in order to combat the Legion. Exhibiting superior mobility, great martial prowess, and a preternatural ability to detect demons. Demon Hunters can tap into forbidden powers at times of dire need, metamorphosing into terrifying demonic forms. Demon Hunters may choose between two specializations:

Havoc: This damage-dealing specialization allows you to demolish any who stand in your way with fiery demonic attacks that emphasize rapid melee strikes and battlefield mobility.

Vengeance: This tanking specialization allows you to go toe-to-toe with even the most powerful demons, withstanding massive punishment by channeling the pain of battle and the souls of your enemies.

Start your journey as a member of Illidan’s most elite disciples, an Illidari. Venture out from the Black Temple to lead an assault on the Legion world of Mardum in a desperate attempt to recover the key to defeating the Legion, even as the heroes of Azeroth march against the Black Temple and Illidan.

Level Cap Increased to 110

Brave the epicenter of the demon invasion—the Broken Isles, a land rich with ancient wonders. Explore lush forests, colossal mountain ranges, storm swept cliffs, and night elven cities older than human civilization. But beyond the Legion’s marauding army, native dangers lurk here too: twisted satyrs, savage drogbar, and cursed Kvaldir are but a few of the danger’s awoken by the return of the Burning Legion.Explore the Broken Isles with areas such as:

Wield weapons of legend against the Burning Legion. Set out on quests to claim the myth-forged artifact weapons for your class, then grow their power as you continue their legend. Your choices will change their abilities, appearances, and carry them to new heights of power. Fashion your artifacts into the perfect instrument of battle for your specialization, and guide your faction in its most desperate hour.

Earn Artifact Power by completing nearly any type of content, ranging from outdoor world questing to PvP.

Claim a Class Hall unique to your class. Recruit champions and armies into your order to send on missions and fight along your side on the Broken Isles.

Missions and Champions

Class Campaigns: Unlock an epic class-specific story that takes your character through a variety of content in the expansion as you seek out new champions to join your order in the fight against the Legion.

Combat Allies: Call upon mighty champions to assist you in combat either as bodyguards or through powerful call-down abilities.

Order Advancement: Research improvements to your armies and champions as well as personal, class-themed perks.

New Dungeons

Ten new dungeons are available in Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties.

New Raids

Two new raids to challenge the mightiest heroes of Azeroth as you try to combat the Legion invasion and the effects it’s had on the native inhabitants of the Broken Isles.

New World Bosses

Challenge yourself against ten new deadly world bosses located throughout the Broken Isles.

World Scaling

Forge your own path through The Broken Isles. Level-up zones no longer have level ranges and instead creatures, foes, and rewards scale to your character level allowing you to play through those zones and their dungeons at any level. Zone and dungeon content will still be both challenging and rewarding at any level and allows you to play with friends seamlessly even if your levels are far apart. The max-level zone of Suramar awaits adventurers at the end of their journey.

Honor Points and Conquest Points have been removed as a currency. At level 110 players now receive Honor for completing PvP objectives or scoring Honorable Kills. Additionally, players at all levels who complete PvP battlegrounds are awarded a cache that can contain equipment, gold, and transmogrification tokens appropriate for their level along with artifact experience once they’ve obtained their artifact weapon.

Players at Honor Level 50 can receive a special reward (a mount, a title, a pet, or a toy) and can Prestige. Electing to Prestige will increase the player's Prestige Level by 1, unlock a special PvP badge, and reset their Honor Level.

Items that were purchased using Honor or Conquest are now available for purchase with Marks of Honor that can be earned from Battlegrounds, Arenas, and Skirmishes.

Equalized PvP Gear

Gear has been normalized in PvP combat. Characters entering a Skirmish Arena, Battleground, Rated Arena, Rated Battleground, or Ashran now receive an aura called .

removes all stats gained from gear (Strength, Stamina, Haste, etc.), disables gear related bonuses (like trinket effects and set bonuses), and gives the character stats based on their specializations, and increases based on overall item level. The goal is to provide a much more finely tuned and balanced PvP experience.

Arenas

The pennant attached to the back of characters now changes its appearance based on the player’s best rating in the Arena bracket.

Battlegrounds

Characters below level 110 winning a Battleground are now awarded Crates of Battlefield Goods. The crate contains a piece of armor appropriate for the character’s level and specialization with a chance for the crate to contain additional rewards such as weapons or relics.

Unlock new appearances by collecting Soulbound weapons and armor your character can equip.

Unlocked appearances are account-wide and usable for transmogrification by other characters that can equip the item.

When first logging into a character after Patch 7.0, the appearances of appropriate items in your bags, bank, and Void Storage are learned automatically. Additional appearances will be unlocked based on previously-completed quests.

Transmogrifiers located in most major cities have been improved with additional features.

Got a look that you like? Save the entire transmogrification set as an outfit. Create and swap between outfits at the Transmogrifier.

Additionally, transmogrifications can now be associated with your current specialization. Your outfit automatically changes when switching specializations if you so desire.

Added a new option to hide shoulders.

The option to hide helmets, cloaks, and shoulders has been moved into the transmogrification system.

New Boosted Character Experience

Newly boosted characters will receive a lesson on the basics of how to play their new class, as they embark on an airship heading towards the Broken Shore.

Class Trials

Try out a new level 100 character before consuming a Boost with the new Class Trials! Class Trials allows a player to create a new level 100 character, learn how to play the class, and get to experience what it feels like to play the class and their artifact weapon.

At the end of the trial experience the character is saved but locked. Players can use a character Boost to unlock the character and keep the character permanently.

Raids and Dungeons

Mythic Dungeons and Keystones

Mythic difficulty is available for all Legion dungeons. Players who complete a Mythic dungeon may earn a Mythic Keystone pointing to a random Legion dungeon, enabling access to progressively more challenging levels of difficulty, with commensurate rewards.

Completing a Mythic Keystone dungeon within the specified time limit awards a higher-level Keystone, pointing to a new random Legion dungeon, and allowing its holder to access an even higher difficulty and reward level.

At higher Mythic levels, random modifiers are introduced, transforming the rules of the dungeon and the way you play to provide a dynamic experience.

At the beginning of each weekly instance reset period, players receive a special reward based on the highest Mythic level completed in the prior week.

Legacy

now resets daily instead of every 3 days.

Items and Itemization

Itemization

In an effort to reduce the amount of gear swapping between specializations, the following changes have been made.

Multistrike has been removed. Items that had multistrike have had it replaced with another secondary stat. Trinkets obtained from Raids, PvP, and world drops in Warlords were overtuned and have been brought back to intended power levels. Set bonuses for item sets from expansions prior to Warlords of Draenor have been deactivated, though the text describing their former function still remains.

Legendary Items

Legendary items drop from places all throughout Legion. In addition to stats, these items confer powerful effects and modify abilities. Only a limited number of them can be equipped at a time.

Check out the new Loot tab in the Dungeon Journal to see which Legendary items are out there for you!

Character Changes

Specialization System Changes

Characters can now change between any of their specializations at most any time for a progressive gold cost. Action bar configurations are saved for each specialization. As a result, Dual Specialization has been removed.

Characters can queue up as any role that is available to their class and will automatically switch to the suitable specialization when entering the Dungeon, Raid, Battleground, or Arena without any gold cost. For example, a paladin might be questing as Retribution but queue up in Dungeon Finder as a Tank. When the paladin enters the dungeon, they will automatically switch to Protection.

Updates to Combat Visuals and Audio

Talent System Changes

Players are now able to switch talents while out of combat without the need for reagents.

Glyph System Changes

The Glyph panel has been removed from the game. Some minor glyphs that had a cosmetic effect that does not apply to a specific spell have been converted into cosmetic items that provide the same effects as before.

Some minor glyphs that made cosmetic alterations to a specific spell have been added to the spell itself in the spellbook.

Draenor Perks Removed

Draenor Perks have been removed from the game.

Armor Changes

Hunters and Shaman can now equip Mail armor from level 1 (down from level 40).

Warriors and Paladins can now equip Plate armor from level 1 (down from level 40).

New Mail and Plate reward options have been added to low level quests.

Racial Abilities

Human

now removes all Stun effects and shares a 30-second cooldown with other items or abilities that have a similar effect.

Class Changes

All classes and specializations have undergone changes to abilities and mechanics. Check out our class preview logs for a better understanding on the thought process behind these changes.

1. ruins of AhnQiraj is seperate from the forty man raid temple of ahnqiraj, its similar to making stratholme a 3 day reset, wouldnt make much sense and would annoy transmoggers.2. the class trial is specific to the boost, not everyone can do it.3. you can play beta whenever your accounts gets chosen at random to attend, no sooner no later, maybe never which is usually the case. just be patient and watch your email.

All of this is sounding great, especially for someone like myself who has just got back into playing and I'm constantly excited for what's next from Blizzard. Best of luck to those still waiting for an invite, I'm right here with you, starry eyed and hopeful that Blizzard will grace me with a chance to test out all these new features.
